Analog Devices' Inertial Sensing Technology

Inertial sensing can detect and measure acceleration, tilt, shock, vibration, rotation, and multiple degrees-of-freedom (DoF) motion, and enable a wide range of market-differentiating industrial, medical, communications, consumer and automotive applications. As the leading MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) innovator, Analog Devices offers iMEMS® inertial sensing components including accelerometers and gyroscopes, and iSensor® intelligent sensors, including integrated inertial measurement units (IMUs). Our technology is used in such applications as consumer gaming devices, activity monitors, automotive airbag deployment, and predictive maintenance for industrial machinery.

Sense Acceleration
Sense AccelerationWhat is Acceleration Sensing?

Acceleration sensing refers to the movement of an object from one point to another along a straight line or axis. It includes translational movement such as position and orientation. more . . .
Sense Tilt
Sense TiltWhat is Tilt Sensing?

Tilt sensing measures the inclination or angle of change with respect to gravity. more . . .
Sense Rotation
Sense RotationWhat is Rotation Sensing?

Rotation sensing measures the angular rate–how quickly an object turns. The rotation is typically measured in degrees per second of change and in reference to one of three axes: yaw, pitch, or roll.
